It works for cars, so why not bikes? Just like that fix-a-flat stuff you wonder about using, this milky goo seals small leaks and punctures, up to 1/4in. And the stuff works really well. The kit can convert most tubed tires to tubeless. And if you're already riding tubeless, it makes running low pressure and riding through thornbushes, glass gardens, and herds of goathead thorns all the safer.

For those who are wondering, no the sealant doesn't freeze, doesn't alter the balance of the wheel, and can work in any kind of tubeless tire when combined with a UST or tubeless-ready rim. If you have a standard clincher wheelset, bear in mind that you'll still need to prep your wheels with a tubeless conversion kit before taking advantage of this sealant. The one-quart container can seal up to 16 tires.

Only way to go.

If you ride mountain bikes then you already know all about Stan's. It is the staple when it comes to converting your ride to tubeless. It's relatively cheap and works like a dream. Get on that train and go tubeless, you won't be disappointed.

Still works

Familiarity: I've used it several times

I started using Stans on my mountain bike 12 years ago. I just went tubeless on my road bike. I expected some fancy new product for road tires. Good old Stans was the recommended product and it worked perfectly. I just had a flat on my wheel barrow. Poured in some Stans and pumped it up, no problem. I guess if it works don't fix it.

Sixteen years on this stuff!!!!!!!!

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I have been riding and racing mountain bikes in western Virginia since 1993. Flats were always a problem on the sharp rocks we ride on our side of the state until my buddy turned me onto Stan's tubeless system before my first mountain bike vacation to Northern California and the land of thorns. We had no flats that entire trip. There are many other formulas out there nowadays, but Stan has earned my business. Looking forward to trying his new Raceday formula this spring. Don't be surprised when you call the service number with a question when Stan himself answers the phone. I'm stoked that Backcountry.com carries his products.

It works...

Seals your Tire

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Easy to apply in your tire, and works great! Been using it on my bike for several years and the only time I've ever had a flat on trail is when i got a small hole, and did not realize I had actually run out of Stans in my tire. Really recommend using on any tubeless setup.

The secret sauce

No tubes, no problems.

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Sealing my tires when I rip off lugs is a lot to ask from some liquid I pour into my tires, but NoTubes seem to crush it. Getting the most out of my tires, and preventing flats left and right, I'm always happy with Stans.

Adequate for the job, but wanting more

I've always used Stan's for the tubless set up, but recently I've been wondering whether there's something better out there. The handful of times I've had a puncture, Stan's just hasn't sealed like it claims it should. Perhaps it's running a lower tier pressure (24PSI) but rarely does a puncture seal without the need to utilize a CO2 to over-inflate and seal the hole by directing the sealant. That's a far cry from promotional videos showing a bike riding dozens of times over nails and self-sealing.

I know Stan's has their Race sealant, which would seemingly be better for punctures, but the last time I had that product in my tires it seemed to dry up in about 1/2 the time of the regular sealant (just under one month in normal summer temps of 75 - 85F) - far too soon to know if it worked in a pinch.

I'll keep using the remainder of my bottle, but looking for a replacement faster sealing capability and a longer inner tire life.

The original

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Have been using Stan's ever since I switched to a tubeless setup. It's always worked well for me. My only complaint is that it sometimes gunks up your valve stems which can make it difficult to add or remove air. But I think that's likely a problem with any sealant.
